Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Regard the present!I find it a little tiresome that fans of certain bands latch onto one album and expect subsequent releases to be mirror images of that particular favourite.What would be the point of that? I am not a huge WGC fan, but this is a beautifully spiritual album that rewards on every listen.I sold my copy of Let It Roll: that won't be the case with this one. Listen again! Rating:  - Just shy of being a tormented classicThis album seems to have divided fans of Willard Grant Conspiracy .Some view it as a somnambulant masterpiece while others hear only dank morose dirges. I am definitely more with the former than the latter though I would,nt go as far as regarding Pilgrim Road as a masterpiece. It is a work of occasionally stunning intensity with a handful of songs as good as any thing the band have done. The songs are downbeat and often elegiac and are often augmented by sepulchral strings with occasional brass , harp and even a choir billed as the "Pilgrim choir". This is interwoven with the bands usual array of guitars, organ and of course the chunky vocals of Robert Fisher. Piano also dominates on one or two tracks. The songs are meditations ...

Therefore, any review can only be very personal. So- therefore, I will state my view and say I absolutely adore this album and consider it the peak of this bands career. Huge sweeping hymnals, choirs, strings, orchestras..... full on country ballads meet a heavenly orchestra on the edge of the abyss. Think Nick Cave meets Johnny Cash as they hitch a ride with the four horsemen. Superb. Rating: - The right stuffFantastic majestic dark masterpiece. Give up the throne Cave you know it's time. Well done, Robert. Rating: - One to divide WGC fansI find some of the previous reviews incomprehensible. This album strikes me, a long time fan of WGC, as a delightful return to form after the disappointment of Let it Roll. Next to Regard the End, I'd say Pilgrim Road represents this brilliant band at the peak of it's not inconsiderable powers. |
